First published in 1961, this reissue examines the contemporary
economic problems of Mauritius alongside those social problems
which have a bearing on economic development. As a small and
isolated economy, marked by a very rapid rate of contemporary
population growth, by an extreme concentration on a single product,
and by a great diversity of racial, religious and linguistic groups
within the population, Mauritius is a representative microcosm of
the economic problems of a large part of the developing world. The
book considers the impact of a lower birth rate, emigration and
economic development upon the economy of Mauritius, examining in
detail the labour market, the prospects for agricultural and
industrial development, the financial system and the education
system.
This text shows how to increase the effectiveness of aquaculture
operations across the board. Serving as both a field manual for
professionals and a textbook for aquaculture students, it aims to
cover all aspects of aquaculture - from production and management
to marketing and ethical considerations. The author takes the
reader step-by-step through site selection, planning, production,
water quality management and aquatic health management. He stresses
that aquacultural systems are made up of components that can each
be assessed, managed, and mixed to increase productivity and
maximize resource utilization. Also covered are the vital aspects
of sound business and people management. Included are ready-to-use
procedures for budgeting, record keeping, financial analysis,
personnel management, and long-term planning, as well as insights
on leadership, motivation, communication and performance
evaluation.
This analysis of macroeconomic policy, originally published in
1989, argues that key government objectives, such as reduced
inflation, decreased unemployment and an adequate level of national
saving can be achieved only by employing both monetary and fiscal
policies, in conjunction with supply-side policies expressly
designed to improve the workings of the labour market. Part 1 is a
comparative analysis showing the effects of monetary and fiscal
policy on the economy. Real-wage rigidity in the labour market is
shown to have important consequences for the working of both types
of policy, because it conditions the economy's response to tax
changes. Part 2 presents an econometric model which combines
consistent stock-flow accounts with a full range of expectational
effects. Part 3 presents an innovative technique for solving
rational expectations models with the need for arbitary terminal
conditions.

First published in 1978, The Structure and Reform of Direct
Taxation presents the full findings and recommendations of the
'Meade' committee set up by The Institute for Fiscal Studies. It
represents the most important contemporary examination of the
structure of UK taxation and direct taxation systems in general.
The results of two years' intensive research and discussion by this
independent committee are presented as a report under the joint
authorship of an outstanding team of tax experts. The committee
brought together professional practitioners-lawyers, accountants
and taxation administrators-and academic specialists in fiscal
studies, and here provides a unique review of direct taxation which
is comprehensive, singularly original and full of good sense. The
book begins with a return to first principles, restates the
objectives of a good tax system and analyses existing structures.
It goes on to examine the feasibility of basic reforms which would
allow the system to become more straightforward in operation and
which would base taxation on what individuals take out of the
economy rather than on what they put into it.

Covering the period 1943-45, these diaries cover issues such as the
Bretton Woods UN Monetary Conference in 1944 and loan negotiations
and the ITO, as recorded by Meade and Robbins.
These days current events are fraught with political animosity,
global pandemic, warfare, gun violence, and economic insecurity.
The troubling times that we live in leave us uncertain where we
stand and in what direction we are going. So it is with good reason
that anxiety levels have peaked and the affliction has extended to
almost every segment of society—whether they like to admit it or
not. We may not be able to change the world but End Anxiety!:
Proven Benefits of the Transcendental Meditation® Program, by
James Meade, PhD shows us how we can help ourselves. The problem is
real, so what can we do about it? In End Anxiety!, James Meade
offers an instant and lasting solution—the Transcendental
Meditation® program, as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. This may
at first seem like a novel approach to the issue, but studies on
the effects of Transcendental Meditation® on the mental states of
its practitioners have been ongoing for over fifty years and the
findings are conclusive: Transcendental Meditation can have a real
and powerful positive impact on our mental health, especially in
terms of mitigating anxiety, stress, and depression.
